With the Starz series Gaslit putting a spotlight back on the Mitchell family, fans of the show might wonder about the whereabouts of John and Martha Mitchell’s daughter, Martha “Marty” Elizabeth Mitchell. They may also be curious about the real person behind the on-screen portrayal, or even searching for Martha Mitchell’s daughter photos. Despite her parents’ prominent public lives, Marty has largely stayed out of the limelight.
Who is Martha Mitchell’s daughter?
Martha Elizabeth Mitchell, known as Marty Mitchell, is the only daughter of Martha Mitchell and John Mitchell. She was born on January 10, 1961. Marty Mitchell seems more known for her parentage than for herself. John Mitchell served as U.S. Attorney general under former President Richard Nixon, and later served a short prison sentence of just nineteen months, despite a guilty verdict and conviction on charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury in relation to the Watergate Scandal. Conversely, Martha Mitchell, Marty’s mother, materialized as an instrumental party in revealing the truth of the incident, despite violent attempts to keep her quiet. Marty maintains a life more private than that of her parent’s, both of whom passed away in the years following the divorce.
